| 20080300605 | Pedicle protractor tool - A surgical hand tool is provided having a plumb assembly fixed to a dome housing element. The plumb assembly is fixed to rotate freely in two axes of rotation in at least two rotational planes. A tool attachment coupling such as bushing for receiving a surgical instrument such as a drill or tap is fixed to the dome housing. A handle can be fixed to the device for use and orientation by a surgeon or other user. The hand tool can be used as a protractor for orienting surgical instruments such as pedicle screws in at least two angles on two planes for accurately applying said instruments into the pedicles of a vertebra. Generally, the tool of the present invention can be used to accurately orient an instrument relative to a body in at least two angles in two planes. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090194307 | Torque limiting driver and method - A rotation driver and method for transmitting a limit torque to a fastener by having cam members which rotate together for torquing and then reverse the rotation to return to their starting position for repeating the torquing. The same two surfaces respectively on the two cam members always contact only each other for the torquing. There is lost motion between the cam members at the end of the limit torquing, and there can be further application of torque beyond the limit. A calibration adjuster urges the cam members together, and a lock arrangement secures the adjuster in its calibrated position. Also, there can be drive rotation in the direction reverse from the limit torque application. | 08-06-2009 |
